Getting up early in the morning is hard for us while vacationing. Every day for work we get up between 6 and 6:20 but even with the birds loudly singing we hate to get up before 8 while camping.

But we did it and drove across the island to Reuben Tarte Park (unload right by the water at the beach then park up the hill) during slack for the crossing to Jones Island State Park (in the distance). 

The problem was our destination requires us to hang out there for three hours, even with a jaunt to the Wasp Islands, to come back during slack (when the waters are calm) and it was rainy and cold and foggy. 

If we’d had to do it we could have, but I also wanted to see English camp. 

We’d have to wait for next slack so we met our friends at Bean Cafe (a fun coffee shop) before their ferry. 

Next door was the Lavender farm store where I bought some lavender hand sanitizer for our next camping trip (I use hand sanitizer all day at work going between patient rooms so I’m picky). I want to try their mosquito repellant next spring.
